ZASS 7.0.408 memory usage and more.....

Hi,I tried again after some months to run the newest ZASS. Normally I stick with ZA Pro and Antivir Free...and I have no issue at all.With the new ZASS I have bad feelings and something bothers me a lot, like it did with my previous attempt with ZASS.
1) Memory usage after a week, and all programs are now in the list,
the memory usage is abnormal..huge, disaster.
Vsmon.exe 70MBZlclient 25BMscanningprocess 8MBscanning process 6MB
total when not cnanning or else, just idle...109MB
If I start a scan I have 30-50 MB usage more ... and this should be
a software in year 2007?

ZAP 7 only uses less than a half and with antivir I reach 70MB maximum..
2) when the main scanning is running, the on-demand right click scanning is dead.. greyed out.. What
kind of security level is this?
Come on guys, I've been running ZA for more than
7 years I think..but for you is goind backwards in progress.
Your software is not a masterpiece, and the day when also ZAP is going that way. I will not support you anymore and leave the sinking ship.
I hope you can tell me wether there are &quot;fixes&quot; for these 2 issues, but I'm surely desappointed.
Al my drivers, and updates are up to date in all my software and hardware.
Regard

Re: ZASS 7.0.408 memory usage and more.....

Hey,
I've read your post. Sorry for not getting back to you as soon as I could but I've been somewhat busy lately.
Well, regarding your problems with ZASS 7.0.408.000 all I can say is that I'm running the latest BETA of ZASS [ version : 7.0.423.000 ]and I haven't had problems with memory usage during a AV &amp; AS scan on my computer.In fact, as I write these lines, a system scan is being performed by ZASS 7.0.423.000 BETA and I'm monitoring &quot;vsmon.exe.&quot; processand the memory usage by this process right now (while performing a scan) is : 37096 K [as seen in the Windows task manager].
Altough, I have to clarify one thing, and it's about &quot;vsmon.exe&quot; memory usage when I first boot Windows.When booting up Windows, &quot;vsmon.exe&quot; memory usage is approx. 28000 K (28 MB), after a while, itstars increasing to about 34000 K (34 MB) and if I click on the &quot;PRODUCT INFORMATION&quot; tab on the main window of ZASSthe memory usage by &quot;vsmon.exe&quot; goes all the way up to about 70,000 K (70 MB).
The problem is that once &quot;vsmon.exe&quot; reaches 70 MB it doesn't release the excess of
RAM used by
it back to the system.
Now, while the virus scan is running on my PC [a P4 3.20 GHZ with H/T; 2 GB of RAM and a 100 GB 7200 RPM HD] the memory usage by some components of ZASS are :
<ul>[*]&quot;vsmon.exe&quot;
=
37,096 K
[ ~ 37MB ][*]&quot;zlclient.exe&quot;
= 3344 K

Re: ZASS 7.0.408 memory usage and more.....

..in my opinion, contacting support will not help.
I reported the same issue while ago..and also in ZASS previouss version memory usage was huge.
I think I'll wait for the new realese, to see if it's better, otherwise I will go back to ZAP7 and Antivir combination, which is
50% of the memory used now.I do not use antispam and IM, so my client should be lighter.
